The Knockando distillery was built in 1898 to the designs of famed whisky architect Charles Doig and named for the village in which it is located. Sitting aside the River Spey, and amidst a beautiful landscape of small hills, Knockando comes from the Gaelic for ‘Little Black Hillâ€? ‘Cnoc an dhuâ€? Usually the central piece to J&B’s signature blend, single malts from this producer are reasonably rare but well worth the wait. In 2005, they were officially added to Diageo’s ‘Classic Maltsâ€?range to rub shoulders with other great producers such as Cragganmore, Talisker and Glenkinchie.
